Update dm worker intro
What is changed, added or deleted? (Required)
This PR updates the dm-worker-intro.md document to improve its clarity, accuracy, and completeness.
- Replaced "Features" with "Key Concepts": The previous "Features" list was inaccurate and confusing. It has been replaced with a "Key Concepts" section that correctly describes the worker's function, including its handling of full and incremental data, its high-availability capabilities, and the "one worker to one source" rule.
- Added a new
Noteblock: A prominent note was added to clarify that DM-worker is a binlog client, not a standby replica, and to direct users to TiCDC for migrating data from a TiDB cluster. - Expanded "Upstream Privileges" section: The original privilege list was insufficient for newer MariaDB versions. The documentation now provides separate, accurate privilege lists and
GRANTexamples for:- MySQL and MariaDB (< 10.5)
- MariaDB (10.5 and later)
- Added workaround for MariaDB: A new note explains why the
check-taskcommand might fail with MariaDB 10.5+ and provides theignore-checking-itemsworkaround.
